Bangkok

Bangkok is the 22nd most populous city in the world.
Bangkok has a recorded population of 6 million, but it is thought to be higher.
The city is a major economic and financial center of Southeast Asia.
Bangkok has one of the fastest rates in the world for construction of high rise buildings.
The city's wealth of cultural sites makes it one of the world's most popular tourist destinations.
Tourism is a significant contributor to Thailand's economy, providing about 5 percent of GDP.
Bangkok is Thailand's principal international gateway, the major domestic hub, and a destination in its own right.

Its basically eat and shop and eat and shop in Bangkok.
Anytime fo the day they will be something to buy, something to eat at any corner of the street.
Busy, very busy city that i do not wana live in.
Traffic and pollution is a big headache in BKK

I feel in terms of fashion and shopping.
Bangkok is much better than Singapore.
Lots of local designers owning their own shop selling fantastic fashionable clothings
U can walk around Siam Square and u see no two shop owns the same tops/bottom
Every shop has its own characteristic and personality
Unlike Singapore.. everywhere u shop, be it in far east, bugis etc etc..
that every shirt or skirt or apparel can be found the the next or few shop awhile.

Like Singapore Bangkok is also in for the build more condos and shopping centres competitions.
Just a mere 1.5year away from Bangkok there is already so much changes in this busy city.
So many new shopping centres,hotels,eateries and restuarant open up.


Bangkok is a city not new to many but in this trip Central World shopping centre is the only shopping complex i am pleased with. I have never been a fan to shopping in a shopping centre.
But Central world is very different.
Is like a place where all brands comes together.
Be it branded,local,overseas brand,ndie,boutique,cinema or anything.
Its a all in one shopping centre. Brands from thailand,US,Europe,Japan,Australia etc etc can be found here.

What really impressed me is the Supermarket. iIhave never seen such a supermarket.
A nice small foodcourt in a supermarket, a japanese bakery in a shopping centres,
big LCD displays,many many brand of products from all over the world and many make on the spot fresh food in the supermarket itself.
I felt like im teleported to some ang mo country for one moment.
Sushi Tei, Pizza place, Cafe etc etc in a supermarket.


CENTRAL WORLD.
